I was not on OBGYN-L at the very beginning, but very soon after. I was in grad school working on my Masters in Health Research and writing FETAL SONOGRAPHY. My sister was a librarian and one of the gate-keepers for LIB-NET, the librarian's discussion. She subscribed to a new listserv announcement and notified me when she saw OBGYN-L listed. I subscribed well before I graduated in 1996, probably in late 1994. I was the first sonographer on the listserv.

When Geff turned it over to Roberta and Bruce Speyer, and they moved it to OBGYN.net, And we started the Ultrasound@OBGYN.net list. http://forums.obgyn.net/ultrasound/ULTRASOUND.9711/0000.html

I was the first to point out that this was the medium for Sonography. Our image gallery and cases started in 1997 when Dr. Ozren Mamula of Crotia tried to describe what he feared might be an Amniotic Band. I asked him to email an image, and then Bruce put the image on the site for discussion. Here are some of those first discussions of a sonogram on OBGYN.net. Below is Dr. Mamula's excited comment in response to the responses he got.. in less than 24 hours.

Yes, it's just as simple as that. Later I attached them to the E-mail and sent them to Terry and Kevin. Now they are there, on the Obgyn-net ultrasound site. I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm still very excited. Can You image, I'm sitting here, in my home in Crotia in Europe, several thousand miles away from Terry, and God knows how many miles from all of You on THIS list and we are able to communicate with a speed of light....... amazing tehnology .....

>If interested I could try to scan the synechial >images I have for a comparative look. >Janet Tomko, RDMS

Please do, I can't wait to see them. Maybe they might be helpful. After all, isn't that the main purpose of THIS list ....???

I'd like to thank Terry and Kevin and Obgyn-net, for giving me a chance to ask and get help in this way.

Just a bit more of the history. Those were fun, heady days. I miss them, but am much busier now... and looking at retiring from full-time in 2010.

Back when Geff first started this thing, it was an e-mail discussion group through the Baylor server. Geff was a resident and was seeking to start an internet medical journal where original articles could be published more quickly than the standard print journals. As I recall, the very original participants were Geff, one of his residency classmates, Mike Belfort, George Saade, Ken Moise, The-Hung Bui (Karolinska in Sweden) and me. Each time we Baylor Boys went to a meeting we recruited more members and it began to mushroom. When Geff finished residency, he founded OBGYN.net and this discussion group has continued in that forum.

I know I have seen inquiries about Wooley from time to time, but have never really noted if anybody knows what happened to him. For the past several years, I have assumed that he moved to Namibia, changed his name to EL and has continued to post. If anybody knows the real story, let me know.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
